It is not a Chatsworth, or a Badminton : it was never intended to be one of " the stately homes of England, " most of them really not homes at all ; but it has a distinct character of its own, in ix FAMOUS PICTURES 231 which that of its makers, who were its occupants for many happy years, is clearly reflected. It has its entrance hall, its tapestry hall, panelled and galleried from the spoils of one of the City halls, and with carved Italian work in walnut, both good and ancient. Let into this ...is the famous Murillo, " La Vierge Coupe'e, " the Virgin and Child in which were cut out from their place at Seville during the Peninsular War, and acquired later by Lord Overstone, while the rest of the picture, which was taken to Paris by Soult, was secured by Lord Overstone in 1862. The top of the hall is glorious with sixteenth-century tapestry, and the great drawing-room, and the garden room, with its corridor leading to the conservatory, are among the best lighted rooms, and also among the rooms which are, by virtue of their contents, best worth lighting, to be found in all the length and breadth of England.
